Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
   More sad news has come to us. Jimmy Lentz, Class of 1960, passed away in Williamsburg on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at the age of 76.

   He was the brother of Ronald Lentz, David Lentz of VA, Rita Lentz Powell, Raymond Lentz, Sylvia Lentz-Garver, Susan Lentz-Dyszkewics, and Jim Young.

    From Jamey Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA - 10/01/18, 1:34 AM:

My good friend and a Typhoon passed away last night, Jim Lentz. He was my neighbor and my friend. I babysat his kids, Sydney and Whitney, and he played golf with my dad. He was a pallbearer in both my parents' funerals. He and his true love Gail were our favorite neighbors, but they were more than neighbors, they were family. My son loved him and called him Mr. Jimmy. After my dad died, Mr. Jimmy would sit with my mom out on our bench out front and talk politics and the stock market for an hour or more. When I got bad off, he would come see me and bring me What a Burger all the way. He would laugh and say he could eat one of these with just ketchup.

		He complained about my rocking chair being too hard, so I bought a donut and a cushion. Now every time I look at that cushion, I’ll think of my dear friend. What a smart and kind man he was. Everyone should have a friend like him. Rest In Peace, Mr. Jimmy. Prayers to his dear family. We all miss you and know where you are, with our Heavenly Father who has taken away all of your pain. Here he is in my hard rocker visiting with my brother-in-law, Dan Adams, who taught English at NNHS 64-65. I think they were watching CNN.    Oh, NO! Jamey, I am so sorry to learn this. You have my sincerest condolences on the passing of your dear friend.

 O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Words by Isaac Watts, The Psalms of David, 1719 (based on Psalm 90)
(17 July 1674 - 25 Nov 1748)

Music, St. Anne, by William Croft, 1708
(10 Dec 1678 - 14 Aug 1727)


1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.

5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.

7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.

8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.

9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
